Hosea 2:10-16
10
So now I will expose her lewdness
before the eyes of her lovers;
no one will take her out of my hands.
11
I will stop all her celebrations:
her yearly festivals, her New Moons,
her Sabbath days—all her appointed feasts.
12
I will ruin her vines and her fig trees,
which she said were her pay from her lovers;
I will make them a thicket,
and wild animals will devour them.
13
I will punish her for the days
she burned incense to the Baals;
she decked herself with rings and jewelry,
and went after her lovers,
but me she forgot,”
declares the Lord.
14
“Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the desert
and speak tenderly to her.
15
There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she will sing as in the days of her youth,
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
16
“In that day,” declares the Lord,
“you will call me ‘my husband’;
you will no longer call me ‘my master.’
